Greenery in the City

Bangkok is a huge, pulsating megalopolis bursting with traffic, fumes, people, energy. Any opportunity to shut out the noise for a while should be taken and cherished.

Lumphini Park, in the southwest of the city centre, was created by King Rama VI of (then called) Siam in the 1920s.

That’s him there.

It’s not very big, but like all such parks you don’t have to go too far before the sound of the roads subsided and…everything…just…chills…

I for one was grateful. These were taken on the Tuesday after the Monday night before.

Time to head back into the city…

…and its frantic mix of South-East Asian tradition, and the very now.
